Imagine, if you can, the amount of food, clothing, energy, and waste you have used and generated in your lifetime! It’s completely mind-blowing the amount of resources we require as human beings. By far, the most powerful way to fight climate change is to limit how many extra humans you add to the 9 billion on this planet.

One fun way to fight climate change is to get creative with your consumption – buy second-hand and used items, borrow things you need from friends, repair stuff that breaks, instead of buying again. Our consumption of stuff is linked to environmental problems far beyond climate change – plastics in the ocean, trash on our streets, habitat loss and degradation, resource extraction, and more. Enjoy the thrill of thrifting while doing good for the planet.

St. Louis offers a variety of transportation options that can help us cut down on burning gasoline – take the Metrolink, ride your bicycle, carpool with friends, and walk when you can. Try to build routines that help you avoid driving by living close to your work, your kids’ schools, and the grocery store. Not only will you help fight climate change, but fewer cars on the road reduces air pollution, water pollution, and noise pollution in your city!

Meat is an incredibly carbon-intensive product because of the energy it takes to feed, kill, package, and ship animals around the world. Thus, eating less meat has proven an easy and effective way to make a big difference for climate change. Start with a meat-free meal, then try a meat-free day, and keep increasing according to your health and nutritional needs. You don’t have to give up meat entirely to make a huge difference, for the climate and your health!

In 2019, the IPBES Global Biodiversity Assessment estimated that up to a million species are currently threatened with extinction, many within decades. The study estimated that 47% of land mammals and 23% of birds have already been negatively impacted by climate change. In 2016, the Bramble Cay melomys (Melomys rubicola), the Great Barrier Reef’s only endemic mammal, became the first to go extinct because of human-caused sea level rise.

Assuming a species has enough time and flexibility, the next best strategy is to adapt – i.e. change something about your behavior to live with the new climate conditions. For example, songbirds across the U.S. are laying their eggs earlier (2 weeks earlier, on average) to keep up with faster snowmelt and earlier spring arrivals, which bring bugs and grubs to eat. A northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) feeds her chick.

Here in Missouri, the nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) has been expanding northward into the state for almost 40 years, in ways biologists never thought possible. Once restricted to the south, these armadillos now live in Illinois, Kansas, Indiana, and Missouri – largely due to warmer winter temperatures.
